Conclusion

The data presented in this State of the Industry report can be used by organisations to help

them benchmark their training programs and make educated decisions for their training

offerings.

When using these data ASTD makes the following suggestions:

• Keep in mind the data reported here are averages and reporting organisations change

from year to year.

• Don’t aim to replicate the numbers presented. Instead, observe the trends over time and

use the information as a benchmark to compare your own data and trends.

• Use the data reported by industry size when available. When possible, look to the tables to

review data by organisation size, which will more closely mirror your organisation.

In 2012 we saw organisations continue to invest in their employees despite a challenging

economic environment. Organisations faced with an increasing number of employees

managed to maintain training and development opportunities delivered in a variety of methods

and on numerous topics.
